2023 Hykeem Williams, 2023 WR (signs w/ Forfeit State)

[AboutTheU05]

I don’t think it’s is the issue with Keem. JMO

If you’re not willing to discuss the issue, then what is the point of all this??

I still think we're not out of it but at least we avoid the copium

Enjoying the process aka naming Bama his leader. Something aint right there. I don't know what it is but SO FL elite players still think we are a joke or we joking and the act that way. How many of them even visited in OV se

So its illegal for a kid to name a favorite and have it switch? Chad Thomas named Bama his leader during his recruitment and ended up a Cane. Ijs look at things and question does that rumor even sounds true. Bain brother is on the staff and he's been to the campus more than any recruit so what's the point of using an OV when you have been to the place countless times?

You see this is what gets me with these SO FL players. When the Bosa's were being recruited everyone knew Ohio St. If Keem knows he aint staying in So FL. Say that **** homie. U don't have to make a decision on where you going but if its so clear he not coming here let that **** fly.

Like I said before..I just believe that it will be a mistake not investing more in our home kids. JMO

@NASTYQUEDAWG2 Mario is going all out for the local kids. Already landed (verbal) Ray Ray, Frankie and the Washington brothers. Going after Bain, Keem, Jean, others. I'm sure he's not sitting around conceding Innis or Fletcher. But if the kids are front runners who want the Bama or Taint et al logo on their Twitter account, Mario's not going to surrender and crawl into a hole. He's going to replace them with other top talent.

And the local boys aren't producing guys like Mauigoa or Wayne or Okunlola this class. So Mario is going out and getting them too.

I hear you, yet I also know the So FL kids have been mercenaries since optimist football seeking out the top or momentum school. STA, AH, now IMG. Even if they play local, they bus over to Northwestern or Central etc. Mario's not going to get Top 10 classes in 2023 by loading up on local kids because he's got to fight tooth and nail for every one of them and will lose half those battles or more. So going national is his only option, and he's crushing it.

BTW, that creates scarcity, which will be a positive feedback loop for Mario's staff to close the local kids more easily.

End of the day, do whatever it takes to win. Has to be a combination of both local and national, and the moment the local kids' eyes start wandering, time to find another national option.

 

[NASTYQUEDAWG2]

I can vouch for that. He pops in from time to time. A lot of us ole timers (Grassy and Canesport) know of him.

Only chiming in on something that I know about BTW. Other than that, I wouldn’t be saying anything. I kind of left the boards alone for about 5 years.

You mean like Jalen Brown?

 

[cocanes]

Cool..lol

Sorry Mario effect

Got you

Yep. BTW, I don’t think that a good season will change the situation

****…that hurts

The point of what dude?

Like I said before..I just believe that it will be a mistake not investing more in our home kids. JMO

Nobody is investing more in these kids at the moment than Mario and this coaching staff. This is not the amateur hour clown show that we’ve had here for so long.

Mario genuinely cares for all of these jits, and he even threatened to beat Urban Myers’ *** once upon a time for shading SoFlo kids.

If Keem has no interest at all, he should do the honorable thing and say that he’s not coming no matter what. That I can respect.

What most of us can’t respect is a local kid disrespecting the U. If he’s as good a kid as you say, then he should show that he has strong character and eliminate us. No need to string anyone along.

 

[JgDaCane]

I just feel that he needs to keep hammering down here and across Florida.

He is. They don’t wanna come here lol What is he supposed to do?

 

[grover]

Got you

BTW I appreciate your info. You're just stating your informed opinion which may be frustrating to hear. But doesn't surprise me at all given the tea leaves.

Shadow used to say if a local kid isn't committed by game 1 of their senior year, they were going somewhere else 9 out of 10 times. I think Mario improves those odds but not the overall script. Either Hykeem and Jean are on the bus in 6 weeks or they're 90% likely not to come. JMHO. And got to have Plan 1a in place if that's the case.

We will know by December. I can tell you that now. He is a early enrollee I believe.

 

[pacusmc]

That’s my point. It’s a lil harder pulling elite players from their homes which is why we need to invest more here. JMO

The hardest kids to pull are the ones down here.

Mario went to central in a suit after his press conference and he hadn’t slept. Hires 3 of bains family members on staff and hired his former coach.
I mean what the actual Fck else is he disposed to do?
If Saban did that sht to get Bain we would call him a **** chess grandmaster.
We have committed sofla recruits saying Mario is on another level in recruiting and reaching out to their families.
Miami went all out on Shemar.
Just go and say what we already know that Mario isn’t landing any of the big dog receivers. But it seems like the last reason isn’t him not investing time in players down here.
Innis wasn’t gonna stay here and everyone knew it.

Mario invested in getting a receiver that wants to come the best 2 qb’s he could.
Mario investing in getting the best o line to protect them. Mario and the school are investing 100 million and 6 floors.
It seems like Mario isn’t investing in the tag alongs and people with their hands out like Mo.

If we don’t land the Jeudy’s from sofla cause they got some dudes with their hands out. I’ll gladly take an olave from oos.
If fletcher doesn’t want to come then I’ll gladly take Citizen from La.
If the sofla kids are feeling some type of way then they can be like the Alabama recruits who will just have to pray that they get a commitable offer.

We will see how much investing we have to do when kids down here are giving the middle finger to these sec handlers when we start making the playoffs.

Last paragraph is my point. If you clear you leaving SO FL that should be made public. Not throwing up U's at practice or wherever. That's them same games they been playing. Kirkland came on a space last night and publicly made it clear he eliminated every school except Miami and Mich St. That alone cleared up alot of misconception that even 247 printed about his recruitment

Thanks bro..I’ll slide off after December when Keem signs.
